I Heart Etsy and the Blogosphere in General

How excited am I? I was fortunate enough to have several different items from my Etsy shop, Betty and Dot, included in some super-cool treasuries on Etsy (here, here, and here). For those of you who might not know, treasuries are a really fun way for Etsians to group favorite/cool/interesting items according to a theme. Thanks so much Bluebell Vintage (SOOOO many cute vintage things in her shop, go look!), Romy and Clare Designs (cool pottery, jewelry, and textiles), Something Monumental, and Scotty Girl Designs.

In addition, two of those fellow Etsians (here are their shops, Something Monumental and Scotty Girl Design) have ever so kindly included their finds from my (and others') shop in blog posts (go, now, and check out their blogs): here is Shannon from Scotty Girl Design (and a big Happy 100th Post to her, BTW!), and here is Mandy from Something Monumental (with whom I share a major obsession about all things roadside, including those darkly handsome and mysterious Muffler Men!). I'm thrilled to have such lovely bloggers/Etsians focusing on items from my shop.

A big ol' YAY! Etsy has become a big part of my life and I can't think of one bad thing to say about it. Now, the outrageous price of shipping? That's another story (I'm looking at YOU, USPS)...
